Microphones And Recording A Drum Set By: Bruce Hathaway | - The first step in recording the drums is to have a good drum set.

Drum Arranging Masterpieces For Rock And Pop Music By: Todd Omohundro | - I believe that creating the drum parts for rock and pop songs is just as important as creating anything else.

Creating drum parts on a drum machine or sampler can be beautifully done or robotic. For personal taste, I love the when a real drummer is either combined with a drum machine or a real drummer plays by him or herself with all the magic of fe ...
